Things you hope DON'T happen in Game of Thrones season 8

[JesusInTheCabbageVan]

All the main good guys survive and win.
One of the good guys gets turned into a White Walker BUT manages to retain some vestiges of their old personality after a massive internal struggle between good and evil, and then kills the Night King or enables him to be killed.

Both would be a huge cliche and not in the spirit of the show, imo.

I don't want Yara to die. I figured if she survived this long despite being captured and disappearing to have a baby there must be a reason

I just want Tyrion to live

I couldn't give a toss about arya/Sansa/daenerys

Jon snow can live too

They could rule together

I don't want Tyrion or Tormand to die.

I like Daenerys and Jon so don't want either to die. I'm sure she won't "bend the knee" to Jon/Aegon willingly so one probably offs the other.

I don't want to see any more of Brans story - snoozeville. I don't want any more of the dragons to turn into white walkers/flyers?!

Don't forget Littlefinger. I'm all for him having faked his own death. I have contemplated further to this that he may end upon the iron throne. After all he was always ambitious for it, chaos is a laddah and all that. What with all inside sources saying the public won't like the finale's ending, it wouldn't surprise me if Littlefinger is the curve ball used to sucker punch us all out from nowhere.

While we are all concerned about if the White Walkers will win, if Jonarys will produce their heir, whether Tyrion betrays everyone for the sake of his house etc etc, no one would see this coming. Afterall, "if you think this story has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention".

I think I'll cry if Ser Davos dies...other than that they're all fair game, bloody Arya does my head in so wouldn't be too sorry to see her getting splatted. Bran is as dull as too but I have a feeling he will be important.

Fair point about the lazy writing of Daenerys actually, and like HenSolo, I did think EC's best acting was right at the beginning when she was the shy girl sold to the Dothraki.

However, I do just think she's a not very good actor- even those perfume ads are knuckle-chewingly awful 'quango quango quango-o'

I don't want Littlefinger or Jon Snow to die. I like Lord Varys. Sam is my favourite.

I want my proper right lad to be on the throne, I know that

Er, how could Littlefinger have faked his own death? I'm confused

I think one of the Starks will end up on the throne.

Was just about to say. Little finger had his throat slit by Arya agars ago

I don't want The Hound to die. Or Greyworm

That it doesn't lose the pace of the last season.

I've adored this from the word go, but seasons 5 and 6 were pretty tough going to stay with.

There was some very poor script writing in those.

Agree Jesusinthecabbagevan that was my suspicion too. Far too much of a cliche to have someone 'good' turned into a Whitewalker and save the day. Same for John & Danny ending up together.

I really don't want to see the Hound hurt as he's funny and interesting and the same goes for Ser Jura Mormont who I love. Both have the most amazing voices and should do lots of audio books (please).

I don't want Brianne to die as I think she's fantastic and I don't want Sam hurt either.

God I hope it's not all about Boring Bran but I suspect it is.

I don't want the Iron Born sailing to the rescue either as ... I just don't like them.

I loved Littlefinger and did think he'd possibly end up on the throne, but he had his throat cut. Why do people believe he's still alive?

Littlefinger theory goes like this....

LittleFinger early in the series spoke of having family (Grandfather) from braavos - the home of the Faceless Men. Remember that him being the Master of Coin meant LF regularly frequented the Iron Bank in Braavos so he would be very, very well aquinted with the area and its people.

LF "likes to play a game...to see the worst outcome.. blah blah". Bran the 3 Eyed Raven, reiterates back to LF his own quote, "Chaos is a ladder", which he'd told Ned at the time of betraying their father. Many assume that it would've been at this point that LF would have a 'heads up' that something is/was very very wrong and in true LF style, begin to make his preperations.

There one scene further down the line where Ayra is spying on LF and she see's him talking in secret to a young woman in a barn (or something similar). She whispers, "your time's up" and he then gives her a silver looking coin. Who was she and why were they talking..? It's theorised that because she didn't look like anyone of importance (she is dressed like a kitchen worker or general helping hand), nor do we (the viewers) recognise her, it's possible she is a Faceless Assassin. Furthermore nothing else is referenced in later episodes of their meeting, so it's kind of left open...

The silver looking coin could be an iron coin - like the one Ayra gave to the captain to allow boarding of his ship to Braavos, and it could very well have been payment to a Faceless Man to take his place if LF's suspicion of Stark revenge for their Father turns out to be true.

LittleFinger is too sneaky to have been caught out as he (apparently) did and whilst everyone is squabbling amongst themselves for the IT and for survival against the WW and the NK, no one would ever see him coming. Everyone kills themselves off in the struggles and he emerges from the shadows to take the throne - considering his prior role as Master of Coin and as member of the High Council - he would be the most 'qualified' to rule after most houses have been depleted of their heirs.

I've given this much thought!

@beepbeeprichie I agree

@TanselleTooTall wow that's so interesting and right up my street, love theories like that!! It never even occurred to me LF could come back! I know this thread is about what you don't want to happen but I really want that to happen now!
So excited for the new series!

I don't know what I want to happen but I want it to be as brutal and pure anger inducing as it's always been. The point the producers made about going for a beer and turning their phones off is neither here nor there, there are only about 7 of us in work who talk about GoT but we all want different outcomes and for different characters to prevail, so if you multiply that by the millions who watch they won't please the vast majority! I just hope it's not another Sopranos with no real ending....

Tanselle that theory is bloody brilliant .

Is anybody else dreading Monday?

@NearlyVegan I'm so excited for it..... but also dreading it because I never want it to end!

The actor that played Little Finger was on the radio and he said he’s definitely dead, he’s not coming back. I assume he was telling the truth.

I know I know!
I listened to the theory ONCE and I was hooked! I really, really can't shake the feeling that the show's end will have the most curve ball, obscure, where-the-hell-did-that-come-from, unexpected ending ever and this fits the bill. The ending will NOT be pretty and I fully expect it to leave a bad taste in most mouths.

I think Daenerys will kill Jon
Jamie will die
Brienne will die trying to save Jamie

Arya will kill cersi
Sansa will die in the first episode
